TOURNAMENT RESULTS

Nationals 2011

Four Invasion Teams completed play in Atlanta in late June/early July, all with respectable (at least) showings.

After a couple of tough losses in the first round, 12-Black rallied to finish 10th in the 24-team 12-American division. 14-Black finished 30th out of 48 teams in the 14-American field.

Our two Open-Division teams went well into the tournament before wrapping up. 16-Black, the defending National Champions, lost a tough challenge match on Day 3 but finished the week as the #6 team in the Nation! And 17-Black went all the way to the Semi-Finals and came home as the #3 team in the Nation!

Congratulations to all four teams on a great season!
